Confront terrors both known and unknown in a explosive battle for survival with F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin for Xbox 360.

Project Origin Run Amok: Alma's Background Fans of the first game will be familiar with the suspenseful story surrounding the psychic Alma, a peculiar and disturbing odyssey that adds depth to her devastating quest for revenge and immediacy to gameplay. Origin began as a secret military project run by the Aramacham Technology Corporation (ATC) . In an experiment run by Alma's own father, her DNA was used to create two clones that possessed her impressive psychic powers in an attempt to engineer a telepathic military commander. In the end, the research team became worried about the dangers of Alma's powers, and they tried to kill her. While her heart stopped beating and her physical body died, her psychic energy continued to exist, and she manifested herself in many forms, including both a child and a deformed adult figure that betrays the gruesomeness of her ordeal. Due to a string of events tied to both her clones, Alma has escaped the disastrous explosion of the last game and the facility where she was held, and the haunting manifestations of her power are at work all around you, adding an unpredictable, nightmarish quality to the world. Strange Events in a Supernatural Setting In order to get anywhere in the rubble of the city of Auburn, you'll need to survive firefights, stay calm in the face of surprisingly graphic events, and uncover the terrifying and mysterious nature of your real enemies. Your character's phenomenal reflexes allow the much-talked-about slow motion effect from the original title to persist here, giving you an edge in combat and adding to the unique nature of your perspective. Improved Details and Enemy AI An enhanced graphics engine means more detailed environments to explore and better effects. The vast destruction in the city opens up a huge variety of spaces and enhances the other-worldly feel of your mission, and you better be ready to stay on guard because all-new enemies powered by improved AI don't just act more realistically than their predecessors, they employ advanced combat tactics and know how to use the environment against you. But they aren't the only ones with more resources at their disposal--additional world interaction enhancements allow you to create cover and protect yourself or remove obstacles from your path. While it may be the horrific action and the details that first catch your eye, the tactical demands and the way story elements are slowly unveiled promise to help keep you interested as gameplay wears on. And for those times when you're not in the mood for a prolonged single-player campaign, this title also offers the ability to battle with or against friends in multiplayer mode. |

A good game by Jarod R. Fizz  4 Stars
November 11, 2009
Great first person shooter with some intense scenes and some good graphics. Wish it was as long as the first one, but blood and different scenario make it a good sequel. I recommend playing!

Amazingly fun FPS, but not scary. by M. Donk 4 Stars
September 29, 2009
First of all, this is one of my favorite FPS on the xbox, this is INCREDIBLY fun, I mean, remember theold and rather dull smg on the original F.E.A.R.? It is one of my favorite weapons on the game and has absolutely beautiful slow-mo kills. The story is ar more enaging than it's older brothers, in the old one, it was just walka clones and finding the ring-leader of it all, actually I think it was so dull I don't even remember it, But in F.E.A.R. 2 it is much much more interesting. There is a very interesting ending too, and it says sequel, not the Halo 2 "I'm finishing this" kind of end though. Graphicshave drastically improved I was in awe when I saw it, not the budget graphics like in the old ones, no,n F.E.A.R. 2 you get Halo 3-ish graphics.
Now for the very few cons. Not scary at all. maybe it's just me, but I never thought the F.E.A.R. series was EVER scary, I own all of them, they are just FPS's with a diffrent more unique twist on the genre. Some of my favorite guns are gone too, I don't remember the names but I miss them, but this is forgivable since you get new weapons, which is nice. The actual game is a bit shorter than th first, a little less than an hour shorter.
But this a terrific game, buy it definatly if you want a GREAT FPS but if you want a horror game look somewhere else, but even if your in the latter category, still rent it
(If I have any spelling mistakes I'm sorry my keyboard on my laptop sucks)

Way too short by C. Pipher III (Wheeling, Il)  3 Stars
September 12, 2009
I really like this series and will buy another when it comes out, but this one was WAY too short! I mean, BAM and I was done. Maybe I just should start renting games.
